When I took up the reins back in October 2004, I could not have anticipated what Deputy Under Treasurer (Education) a fulfilling, fascinating and challenging appointment lay ahead of me. The breadth and Christa Richmond diversity of the role never ceases to surprise me and the opportunity to meet so many 020 7427 4800 talented and interesting people remains a constant pleasure. [email protected] I have experienced many memorable occasions, but the quatercentenary events Director of Catering & Marketing culminating in the year-long celebrations in 2008 and the three Royal visits including Colin Davidson Prince William being Called as our Royal Bencher in 2009, are obvious highlights. I 020 7427 4820 have been fortunate to meet so many students whose enthusiasm and determination to [email protected] succeed at the Bar despite the many obstacles in their path have been inspirational. I have also been privileged to get to know scores of Benchers who, regardless of the many Director of Estates demands on their time, provide unfailing support to the Inn and contribute so much to Ian Garwood making it the special place that it is. 020 7427 4840 [email protected] I have witnessed and been involved in a period of significant change in the profession. Students now face aptitude tests, barristers are subject to greater regulatory scrutiny and Director of Finance some may soon be working in 'entities', publicly-funded work is increasingly harder to Andrew Hopkin obtain, and quality assurance for criminal advocates is on the horizon. 020 7427 4800 During the last two years, the Inn has had to face up to the reality of prevailing [email protected] economic conditions. Some difficult and tough choices have had to be taken now so Keeper of the Library that we can invest in our estate in the future. I am confident that by doing so we have Vanessa Hayward built solid foundations for the years ahead. Indeed, there is much for us to celebrate. 020 7427 4830 The Inn's reputation as an open, friendly, diverse and generous organisation is regularly [email protected] reinforced. We continue to be the Inn of choice for many high quality students from varied backgrounds and from all over the world. We offer an excellent annual Archivist programme of events, we continue to improve the quality of our communication with Lesley Whitelaw our members, and we are soon to provide much-improved advocacy training facilities. 020 7427 4837 [email protected] None of this would be possible without our loyal and dedicated staff to whom I offer my personal appreciation.

  • Recorder of Cardiff
    CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD COUNCIL: 24 JANUARY 2008 AGENDA ITEM REPORT OF THE CLERK TO THE COUNCIL RECORDER OF CARDIFF Reason for this Report 1. An invitation has been received from the Deputy Head of the Judicial Human Resources Division of the Ministry of Justice to follow past custom and practice in such matters and award the honorary title of Recorder of Cardiff to His Honour Judge Nicholas Cooke QC who holds the appointment of Senior Circuit Judge and Resident Judge at Cardiff Crown Court. Background 2. The appointment of His Honour Judge Nicholas Cooke QC as Senior Circuit Judge and Resident Judge at Cardiff Crown Court was made on the 25 th September 2007 following a competition run by the Judicial Appointments Commission. 3. Judge Cooke was called to the Bar in 1977 and took Silk in 1998. He was appointed Recorder on the Wales Circuit in 1997 and as a Legal Member of the Mental Health Tribunal Restricted Patients Panel in 1999. 4. The Recordership of Cardiff is an ancient office and is mentioned in text as long ago as 1570. There are many more references in old Cardiff City Council minutes from the late 19 th Century until recently. The last appointment was made in 2001. 5. The Recorder of Cardiff is traditionally invited to the Annual Meeting of the Council and certain other of the more ceremonial Council occasions. Issues 5. In so far as the Council has power to award the appointment this would be a matter for Council. Although the award of such title has been long made in Cardiff, the current legal authority to make such an appointment is unclear.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 5 The Established Order Undermined The number of novels glamorizing Westminster and expressing sympathy for its leading figures, as well as their adaptation for the stage and small screen, suggests that during the post-war period a significant number of Britons looked on politics in similar terms. Certainly, an unprecedented proportion of voters participated in general elections and belonged to the three main political parties at this time. These parties were moreover often rooted in local popular cultures. The Young Conservatives, for example, had in excess of 150,000 members, many of whom enjoyed a vibrant collective social life that encompassed sports of various kinds and even holidays to Spain.1 In spite of this most Britons’ relationship with Westminster politics was hardly intimate, certainly not before 1939 nor during the 1950s, and as the latter decade gave way to the 1960s and 1970s it became increasingly distant.2 Hitherto Labour and the Conservatives had found class a useful means of mobilizing support and while they continued to employ class-based appeals, the rising salience of other forms of identity meant they became less effective.3 The established working- and middle-class communities in which the parties had found a niche were being transformed and replaced by the self-conscious individualism of a new kind of suburbia.

He argues that the unifying principle on the constitution is the common law and that its distinctive method has endowed the British State with profoundly beneficial effects, before examining two contemporary threats to the constitutional balance: extremism and the effect of Europe-made laws on the domestic English system. SIR JOHN LAWS has served in the Court of Appeal and Privy Council since 1999. He has been responsible for a large number of important cases, including Thoburn v. Sunderland City Council which confronted the twin powers of Westminster and Brussels. Sir John is also a constitutional jurist of note, having written several extra-judicial contributions that underline the importance of the rule of law and the courts in a democracy so that sovereignty is founded in the constitution, not just parliament. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-07772-0 - The Common Law Constitution Sir John Laws Frontmatter More information © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-07772-0 - The Common Law Constitution Sir John Laws Frontmatter More information THE COMMON LAW CONSTITUTION SIR JOHN LAWS © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-07772-0 - The Common Law Constitution Sir John Laws Frontmatter More information University Printing House, Cambridge cb2 8bs, United Kingdom Cambridge University Press is part of the University of Cambridge.
